Great Britain.

[EFLImpudence]

Ok. A couple of other threads are espousing the usual tub-thumping stuff.

What exactly is it that people think makes Great Britain the 'greatest' country in the world?

Just a list will do.

National health service

Fair point but lots have one.

Well a Japanese MITI study concluded GB had invented about 54% things.

Not quite sure how you categorise "things".

Which if true, would be more than the rest of the world combined.

Royal Family
Castles
Historic/heritage sites
Universities
Shakespeare/literature
Winning World wars
Technology
Naval history
Railways and underground systems.

This green and pleasant land, when I fly in from abroad.

 

[Ryler]

The great structures that Islamabard Brunel Kingdom constructed.
And the architecture of the great churches and chapels.

 

[Brigadier]

I like here. That's all that matters to me.

It's tolerance.





And sense of humour

Cool in summer and cool in the winter. Sweet man.

You'd probably be better served asking the question of non - British people, for an unbiased and objective view.

I think you're just being silly now.

You think Britain is the best place in the world because it is like lots of other places, some of which are better.

 

[EFLImpudence]

As apparently, does Ryler.

Although Brunel is my hero. His dad was French.

It's tolerance.

And sense of humour

It's only tolerant because you have to live so close to so many people you can't 'kin stand.

That covers both.
